Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start with Isabelle and Hector in the south, and Cooper with McCoy in the northwest.
  2. 2
    For Isabelle and Hector: Deal with the sleeping bandit near the shack, hide his body, then use Isabelle's dart to connect the patrolling bandit and his dog. Take them down.
  3. 3
    Hide Isabelle behind wood. Connect the Long Coat with the Poncho. Use Isabelle's cat to distract them. Hide in bushes near a vine as the Long Coat will investigate footprints.
  4. 4
    Climb the vines, stay out of sight near a rock, then jump to the sniping point and eliminate the Poncho.
  5. 5
    Alternatively, possess the dog, attack the Poncho near the sniping point, or attack a connected enemy so the dog kills bandits and passes out.
  6. 6
    Take down the bandit investigating the Poncho, then hide in bushes near the Long Coat. Connect the Poncho and Long Coat, then attack the Poncho with Isabelle. The Long Coat will kneel; finish him.
  7. 7
    To navigate the water with Hector, walk around puddles to avoid shallow water.
  8. 8
    Place a bear trap for the bandit near the rock, being careful of the Gunman across from the Long Coat. Lure the bandit into the trap by leaving footprints in the mud.
  9. 9
    Drop the boulder to kill enemies. Connect one bandit below the boulder to the Gunman near the rock. After the boulder falls, defeat the remaining enemy.
  10. 10
    Lure and knock out the Gunman near the rock, then tie him. Throw a dart at him and another at the Long Coat. Position Isabelle with the tied guard behind a fence. Use Hector to throw a body into the Long Coat's line of sight. When he approaches, kill the tied guard and then the Long Coat.
  11. 11
    Use a similar strategy for the Poncho on the platform: lure him close and attack with Isabelle.
  12. 12
    Advance to the cages area. Lure the guard near the first cage by throwing a body into his cone of view, then stun or kill him.
  13. 13
    Swap to Cooper and McCoy. Do not snipe with McCoy and avoid melee kills for both. Cooper will be the primary killer.
  14. 14
    Lure the dog out of enemy view by throwing McCoy's bag, then use a knife to dispatch it.
  15. 15
    Kill the Poncho on the sniping point. Throw a knife at the sniper and distract the Gunman ahead with a coin. Climb the tower, stay crouched, grab the body of the patrolling Poncho when he sees it, and put him in a corner. When he climbs the ladder, throw a knife at him.
  16. 16
    Lure the Gunman near the rock and kill him when he approaches the bag.
  17. 17
    Grab a body and return to the cages area.
Tips
  • A possessed enemy touching water will fail the challenge.
  • You can still grab corpses to hide them even if guards are killed by dropping a boulder.
  • Tied guards can be combined with Isabelle's connect ability to take down distant enemies and damage Long Coats without firearms.
  • To get rid of the Poncho on the sniping point, hide in bushes, wait for him to look away, send Isabelle's cat to distract him, cross the wooden bridge, hide below his platform, then go to the bushes. Enter showdown mode, position Isabelle's cat near the Poncho, place Hector's trap near the door, and whistle to lure the bandit. Coordinate actions so the cat distracts the Poncho when the bandit nears the trap.
  • Repeat the process to eliminate the Gunman near the cage in the middle of the area.
  • To get rid of the Poncho on the sniping point, lure him to a trap by putting Bianca on the bridge and throwing a tied guard in his sight.
  • Don't step on loud surfaces.
  • Kill everyone except for civilians.
  • No knockouts or melee kills except for Isabelle.
  • Don't snipe anyone with McCoy.
  • Open all the cages.
  • Hide all bodies in bushes, wells, houses, etc.
  • Speedrun: complete the mission in under 15:00 minutes.
  • Complete the mission on Hard difficulty.
